This time of year, the kitchen becomes even more of a focal point. A well-designed kitchen makes the holidays even more festive, effortlessly drawing people together to chat while snapping green beans, oohing and aahing over the roasting turkey, or sharing wine and cheese before the big meal ahead. And when the kitchen is equally well-appointed, the chef’s job is immeasurably easier.

Behold the kitchens of Stepping Stone, designed for both conviviality and convenience. Check out the Shea model kitchen photos below and imagine where you could be hosting your next holiday! Then, take a sneak peek at one of Richmond’s floor plans, all five of which we’ll feature in an upcoming blog.
